Yes , someone is working on an engine that will get us to Jupiter in less than a year the engine is now a proven technoligy as of June 2009 its called vasimir i think . anyway it is a plasma propelled rocket
We are able to see the Moon, other Planets and even the Sun. The Sun make this possible through its light, even at night. With the help of a powerful telescope we are able to see distant galaxies, distant stars that don't exist anymore, we are seeing only its light which is still travelling.
Other planets serve various purposes in the universe, such as contributing to the overall structure and balance of the solar system, providing valuable scientific information about planetary formation and evolution, and offering potential opportunities for future exploration and colonization. Additionally, studying other planets can help us better understand Earth's own place in the cosmos.
No, astronauts would not be able to hear an explosion on the moon because there is no atmosphere to transmit sound waves. Sound requires a medium like air to travel through, and since the moon is airless, there would be no way for sound to propagate and reach the astronauts' ears.
Ancient astronomers were able to observe the movements of the planets in the night sky, track their positions relative to the stars, and document their retrograde motion. They also noted patterns in the planets' movements and made connections between their positions and earthly events.
Yes, astronauts can hear each other if their helmets are touching because sound can be transmitted through solid materials. When their helmets make contact, vibrations can travel through the helmet material, allowing sound waves to pass between them. However, in the vacuum of space, they would not be able to hear each other through the air, as sound cannot travel in a vacuum.
Potentially yes. We do not have the technology to get people out very far (maybe as far as Mars at present, but even that's debateable), but in theory we would be able to visit extra-solar planets as technology improves in the future.
Some people believe that spaceships from other planets have visited Earth, but no one has ever been able to prove it.
We can see mars and other planets at night as it is very dark.
because if the planets were close enough to each other to be able to have a gravitational pull strong enough to share rings, the planets would ultimately collide
Like our Moon, other planets can also reflect light from our Sun.
Pioneer 11 carried out the first flyby of Saturn in September 1979, when it passed within 20,000 km of the planet. This was followed by a visit of Voyager I (1980) and Cassini-Huygens space probe (2004).
As far as I can imagine, No. Astronauts and space shuttles are tiny with respect to the planets. Mostly,space shuttles are in between two orbits. To observe planets revolving around the sun, you need to be very far away (so that you can see this view. Think of this: If you are standing in the middle of the track of a gigantic circular race track,would you be able to see all the cars moving around the race track? No. You would just be able to see the cars zooming in front of you. And it would appear as though the cars are moving straight. You would only be able to see all the cars moving round the enormous track if you were on a helicopter, or sitting on a seat high above the track. This is exactly the same thing with the planets. You can't see them all revolve unless you are really far away.And, astronauts don't go that far out.
is there life other than ours? are there any other earth like planets in the universe

You can't go to any other planet. One day astronuats might be able to, but for now you should stick to earth. The only other place man has gone is the moon. NASA has sent robots to Mars to look for forms of life and to check the place out.
Within our solar system at the present time, no. Regarding planets orbiting other stars outside our solar system, our present technology is nowhere near able to tell.
Humans can live on the planet Earth. Other planets are unsuitable for our existence unless new technology was able to assist humans in harsh environments.
